We Came Together with the Rumeli Feneri Cooperative

The sea is our shared treasure, where thousands of people build their lives, earn their livelihoods, and place their hopes for the future. We came together with our fishermen at the Rumeli Feneri Cooperative. We sincerely listened to their firsthand experiences from the sea, the problems they face in daily life, and their expectations for the future. We had a heartfelt conversation on the protection of our seas, sustainable fishing, working conditions, and the future of the sector. As New Route at Sea, we advocate for an approach that listens to every stakeholder in the sector, observes problems on the ground, and produces solutions through collective wisdom. We will shape the future of our maritime together with the relevant institutions, our cooperatives, and the workers of the sea. Together, we will achieve a fair, inclusive, and sustainable transformation
